The series include the following tropes:

Alternate Character Interpretation: In-Universe example in The Lost Command. Darth Vader, for reasons strongly implied with dealing with the depths of his guilt for what he has done, often dreams of what his life would have been like had he either killed Darth Sidious himself or had he let Mace Windu deliver the final blow. It shows him as a grandmaster of the Jedi, and having a son, and obviously the Galactic Republic would have remained a Republic and Padme would have still been alive.

Defector from Decadence: Tarkin's son defected to the side he was trying to defeat because he was disgusted with the fact that the Empire he was serving was constantly committing genocide against several people. This is also the reason why one of Vader's personnel was trying to have Vader assassinated.

Exact Words: "You will know of my success what you have Vader's head on your lap. You will not see or hear from me again". Cut to the other guy sitting in a chair, his eyes ad ears removed. Touch is the only feeling he has left.

Handicapped Badass: Laurita Tohm was disfigured from an unspecified accident (until Ghost Prison 3 reveals the specifics), and he is shown fighting alongside Vader. Trachra also qualifies. And, naturally, Vader himself IS this trope.

Hero Antagonist: Gentis. Probably several of the antagonists in the series as well.

Kill It with Fire: Gentis's motivations for causing a Military Coup stemmed from witnessing several soldiers and officers still being cremated by the dozens even after the Clone Wars were over.

The Reveal: The circumstances behind Trachta's injuries and cyborg state are finally revealed in Ghost Prison 3.

Redemption Equals Death: Averted, although fans of the Star Wars franchise should realize that by then: Vader in Lost Command 5 attempts to collapse the entire temple as a means to atone for his sins as Vader. Unfortunately, the Force would still see to it that he survive, with Palpatine even digging him out.

Start of Darkness: Lost Command serves as this to Grand Moff Tarkin. While he was by no means a saint beforehand, the comic's end implies that his more monstrous tendencies were the direct result of Tarkin losing his son.

Tyke Bomb: Ghost Prison implies that a lot of the graduates had only attended the Imperial Academies for a few months instead of the years normally needed.

Taking You with Me: Vader's assassin attempts to do this to Vader when he was curb-stomped by Vader in Lost Command 5.
